December 1 - 2 THE DARK KNIGHT RISES —
It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
The Dark Knight Rises screens Saturday, December 1 at 10 p.m. and Sunday, December 2 at 8 p.m. General admission is $9. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students and staff. Free for UM students.

Opera Insider raves: "This mega-production deserves only three words — Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic!"

University of Miami Business Plan Competition

deadline December 28

The annual University of Miami Business Plan Competition, sponsored by the School of Business, encourages entrepreneurship among students and alumni throughout the University of Miami. The School of Business Administration recognizes that potentially successful business ideas can come from a wide range of disciplines and may originate from an individual or from a group of individuals. The competition has been designed to simulate the real world where anyone can have an idea but only those who follow through on their ideas and work through the details of starting a business will reap the rewards of success.

Friday, December 28 is the last day to submit a 3-5 page concept paper for the business plan competition (submissions must be in by 4pm). The competition includes more than $25,000 in prize money. All that is required initially is a 3-5 page concept paper. The winners of this round will be invited to write a business plan and present it to a panel of distinguished judges on April 18, 2013.
